The Bachelor of Accounting (BAcc) at Brock University is designed for ambitious students aiming for a career in public accounting and professional licensure. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of accounting principles, financial reporting, auditing, and taxation, preparing you to meet the evolving demands of the industry, including the impact of disruptive technology. This undergraduate degree provides a robust foundation in accounting and business, equipping you with the analytical and ethical skills necessary to excel in a dynamic financial landscape.
This full-time, on-campus program is studied over four years, integrating core accounting subjects (ACTG) with economics (ECON), finance (FNCE), marketing (MKTG), management (MGMT), and ethics (ETHC). You will progress through foundational to advanced topics, culminating in a capstone management course (MGMT 4P90) in your final year. The optional co-op stream, as mentioned in existing materials, allows you to gain practical work experience, potentially accumulating 16-20 months towards the CPA designation, preparing you for roles in public accounting firms and corporate finance departments.
